Definitely NO. It works better eating it. Eating it ensures you get it all, for one thing. Nothing is wasted. Chewing it (yes, it tastes like crap) until it is liquefied puts it immediately into the bloodstream through the mucus membranes. Then it's swallowed and digested. Smoking it is wasteful and dangerous, obviously. Much of the good stuff just literally goes up in smoke. Plus, you're smoking. Breathing smoke into the lungs isn't good for you. Eating the weed permeates the entire body, thus nullifying pain everywhere and causing total relaxation. Smoking only puts it into the respiratory system, so you're deprived of oxygen, the buzz is mostly in your head, and the eyeballs turn red and glass over.
To each his own. But I prefer eating the cannabis. More bang for my buck, won't stink the place up and no pain anywhere.
